DANNY OCEAN ROUNDS UP THE BOYS FOR A THIRD HEIST, AFTER CASINO OWNER WILLY BANK DOULBE CROSSES ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ELEVEN, REUBEN TISHKOFF
Amazon.com
George Clooney is one, Brad Pitt is two, Matt Damon three... well, let's just assume there are 13 collaborators in this installment of Steven Soderbergh's profitable caper franchise. We're back in Las Vegas for Ocean's Thirteen, where the boys plot to shut down the brand-new venture of a backstabbing hotelier (Al Pacino) because the guy double-crossed the now-ailing Reuben (Elliott Gould). If you look at the plot too closely, the entire edifice collapses (hey, how about those Chunnel-digging giant drills?), but Soderbergh conjures up a visual style that swings like Bobby Darin at the Copa. Other than the movie-star dazzle, the main reason to see the film is Soderbergh's uncanny feel for how the widescreen frame can float through the neon spaces of Vegas or sort through groups of characters sitting in hotel rooms talking (he shot the film himself, under his pseudonym Peter Andrews). The film doesn't give enough time to goofballs Casey Affleck and Scott Caan (whose riffs made Ocean's Twelve worth seeing), although it provides comic stuff for a fun roster of actors, including Eddie Izzard, David Paymer, and Bob ("Super Dave") Einstein. Meanwhile, Ellen Barkin makes a fetching assistant for Pacino, and Pacino himself, his hair dyed Trumpian orange, is content to gnaw on some ham for the duration. Biggest puzzle about the two sequels is why George Clooney seems content to retreat from centerstage. Still, his Hemingwayesque conversations with Pitt are an amusing form of male shorthand, and even as the movie overstays its welcome during a long finale, Clooney's easy sense of cool makes it all seem acceptable. --Robert Horton

Breezy fun June 9, 2009
Alan Starr (Lawrence, MA)
Breezy summer fun, very watchable and very forgettable. Much better than 'Oceans 12', which I thought sucked, this is closer to the carefree 'Oceans 11'. Plus I'd much rather have Ellen Barkin in the movie, who is way hotter than Julia Roberts! (I never did understand Julia's appeal...)
 Oceans 13 May 30, 2009
T. Carley (Ripon, WI)
If you like the Oceans series, this one is a must to watch....Hope for a Oceans 14!!
 This franchise should be retired May 26, 2009
Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
Once again, George Clooney and Brad Pitt combine to screw a Vegas casino, successfully, of course. But this whole enterprise is clearly now played out. Please don't let there be an Ocean's 14. The world does not need it.

 13 is an unlucky number March 17, 2009
David Bonesteel (Fresno, CA United States)
The boys spring into action when crooked bigshot boss Willie Banks (Al Pacino) cheats Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) out of his share of a new casino. While Rueben recovers from a heart attack, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, ad nauseum) implement a far-fetched and ill-defined plan to sink the big opening.
I really enjoyed the first movie and found something to appreciate in the second, as well, but this third installment is just awful from beginning to end. They use the drill that dug the Chunnel to burrow under the casino so they can simulate an earthquake? Really? Are you kidding me? And nobody notices? By the way, when the first one breaks down, they manage to come up with a second one. This is only one element of a plan that would require unlimited resources and the omnipotence of the Almighty himself to pull off. I think it was just made as an excuse for Clooney and his cool posse to pal around in Vegas for a few months. What a life!
